During the Festival of Hanatoro live and street performances are held at stages around the area and it was one of these being replicated in Kyoto Kagai that I had gone to see performed by the Maiko of Hanafusa at the Yasaka Shrine

We were treated to performances of three traditional Fan Dances (Maiougi Sensu) by the Maiko, while stories were related, including the supernatural Japanese Folklore myth "The Golden Hairpin"

Hanafusa Okiya take a pride in the authenticity and accuracy of their dances and stories, you can see a real life performance of the same eventhere.

If like me you would like to experience a traditional event, perhaps witness another Fan Dance or attend a Tea Ceremony you will find more information via the Hanafusa Okiya Blog.
I hope to visit Kyoto Kagai, Midnight Sun again soon and take some more pictures especially now it is Cherry Blossom time.
